Some endpoints or database queries are being hit frequently and are causing high load times or unnecessary database usage. To improve performance and reduce resource strain, we should implement a caching mechanism for read-heavy operations.
Problem
Frequently accessed data is fetched from the database on every request.
This leads to higher latency and increased database load.
Results for some queries (e.g., user profiles, statistics, or configs) don’t change often.
Proposed Solution
Introduce a caching layer for data that is read frequently but changes infrequently. Possible approaches:
Use an in-memory cache (e.g., Redis, Memcached) to store query results or rendered responses.
Set appropriate cache expiration (TTL) to keep data fresh.
Implement cache invalidation when underlying data changes.
Optionally, use HTTP caching headers (e.g., ETag, Cache-Control) for frontend or API responses.
